# How to Make It:

01 - Peel, wash, and cut the potatoes into cubes. Toss with olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika to evenly coat.
02 - Cook the seasoned potatoes in an air fryer at 200°C for 20 minutes, shaking the basket a few times during cooking until golden and crisp.
03 - While the potatoes cook, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and chopped onion, browning until the meat is fully cooked and the onion is softened.
04 - Add salt, black pepper, onion powder, paprika, and minced garlic to the skillet. Stir in Worcestershire sauce, tomato sauce, ketchup, mustard, and barbecue sauce. Reduce heat and simmer gently until thickened, stirring occasionally.
05 - Once the potatoes are crisp, fold them into the beef mixture in the skillet, ensuring the potatoes are well coated.
06 - Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top. Transfer the skillet to the oven and broil briefly until the cheese melts and bubbles.

# Extra Information:

01 - Cut potatoes into uniform cubes for even browning and crisp texture.
